He wasn't a fickle man, so there was no need for him to keep bringing certain things up, because he had already written "refusal" all over his face.
So it wasn't that he hadn't rejected Ah Qing; he had been rejecting her all along.
Thus Li Zhibai understood.
Even so, Ah Qing still hadn't given up; she kept on quietly liking him, admiring him… and so, Chang'an was helpless.
After he had already made his stance of refusal clear, Xu Chang'an had neither reason nor right to grab Ah Qing by the collar and tell her not to like him.
"Distance yourself from her?" Li Zhibai suddenly said.
That would be a good option.
"Sir." Xu Chang'an lifted his head and looked toward the direction Ah Qing had left, and said helplessly, "Miss said she likes her; this is… the first time she's ever seriously said she likes someone else."
"…Ah." Li Zhibai's cherry lips parted slightly.
Then there was nothing to be done.
So this was a dead end.
